FAMILY MANAGEMENT PORTAL

The new family registration & management feature allows families to setup and manage each member’s reading logs and “challenges” easily from one account.

CREATING AN ACCOUNT Parents/Guardians can create a parent/guardian account for your site by visiting https://alpenalibrary.evanced.info/reader/family Click on “Join here”

Upon registering, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered on the registration form. The parent/guardian needs to confirm his or her account via the link provided in the confirmation email. If a child has an existing Wandoo Reader account which has the parent/guardian's email address listed as the account's email address, that child account will be automatically linked to the parent/guardian account upon the parent/guardian account's creation. Otherwise, the parent/guardian account will be empty upon creation.

CONNECTING EXISTING CHILD ACCOUNTS If a child already has a Wandoo Reader account, the parent/guardian can connect the child's account to the parent/guardian account by clicking the "Link Existing User" button. The system asks the user to input the child account's username and password. Upon clicking "Continue," the child account is linked to the parent/guardian account.

ACCESSING A PROGRAM Clicking "Login" next to a program title beneath a child's account will direct the parent/guardian to that child's homepage for that program. This is where the parent/guardian can log books, complete challenges, and see awards on behalf of the child.

REGISTERING IN A NEW PROGRAM Clicking the "Register" button on a child's account allows the parent/guardian to register that child in an active program. The system prompts the user to select a program from a list of active programs at the library. The parent/guardian is directed to the registration workflow of that program to update the child's information (if necessary) and to answer any custom questions the library may have added for that specific program.
